Harold Bloom

When you wake, levitate
Ideas pouring out
Then you set out to make
Something great
Nothing comes out
Are you quick on your feet?
It’s time to dig deep
So don’t lift your heroes up so high
That you can’t touch
Don’t let your innocence go dry before the flood
Guardians at the gate let you in
Into their mansions
I’m the acid head homeless man who demands an explanation
Can you be wise if you never leave the room?
There will always be another Harold Bloom
To criticize your every move
So don’t lift your heroes up so high
That you can’t touch
Don’t let your innocence go dry before the flood
Don’t lift your heroes up so high
That you can’t touch
Don’t let your innocence go dry before the flood
